Trump indicates he will not run again if he is unsuccessful this time

Former President Trump hinted in an interview on Sunday that he would not run for the Oval Office in 2028 if his current bid fails in November.

Trump was a guest on the Sinclair Broadcast Group's “Full Measure,” hosted by Sharyl Attkisson, which aired Sunday morning.

At the end of the interview, Attkisson asked Trump if he could imagine running again in four years if his candidacy for the presidency was unsuccessful in November.

“No, I don't think so. No, I don't think so. I think that's what it will be. I don't see that happening at all,” the former president replied. “I think that hopefully we will be successful.”

Trump, 78, is running for president for the third time. In 2016, he defeated Hillary Clinton in the battle for the post of commander-in-chief and lost to President Biden in 2020. He is now running against Vice President Kamala Harris for a second, four-year term.
